I Want A Hug From Mike Sweeney

Who doesn’t want a hug from Mike Sweeney?The man is a giant teddy bear.Well, whether you wanted one or not, if you are within arms reach of Sweeney, odds are that you are getting a hug.In honor of Sweeney’s man-hugginess, I have created a Facebook page in his honor.Join “I Want A Hug From Mike Sweeney” by clicking on the “LIKE” button on the page.

Feel free to share your own Sweeney photos and/or thoughts there.It is a community page open to all Facebook members.There were several pages made in dedication to Jayson Werth’s Beard earlier in the year so I felt it was only fair to honor the super sweet Sweeney and his raw, positive emotions.I will be including photos, quotations, video and anything else I can dream up on the page.

Sweeney is one of a kind; Phillies fans are overjoyed to see a player with such a great attitude and enormous enthusiasm for this team, his teammates and the city of Philadelphia.We love all our players, of course, but this guy is unique and brings a special spark to the clubhouse.Check out the post-game interview after last night’s win:
